Review

This Han Solo action figure is based on Solo's appearance on board the Death Star in Episode 4 while he was chasing a few Stormtroopers down a Death Star hallway. The figure was part of the Power Of The Jedi toy line, and it features a pre-defined action pose, a non-removable Stormtrooper belt, and a non-working holster. The head sculpt is not all bad, and does look at least somewhat like Harrison Ford. Considering that so many Han Solo action figures have been made already, you have to give props to Hasbro for trying something new. There is not much that you can do with the figure though due to lack of movable parts and the pre-defined action pose. Han Solo stands securely by himself without the need of an action stand, and the blaster fits nicely into his hands. Overall, it's an average figure, but unique enough to warrant a purchase.
